Milo Milton Hastings (1884 – 1957) was an American inventor, author, and nutritionist. He invented the forced-draft chicken incubator and Weeniwinks, a health-food snack. He wrote about chickens, science fiction, and health, among other things. Hastings was married twice and had three children. City of Endless Night was published in 1920. An example of early dystopian science fiction written shortly after World War I, City of Endless Night imagines a future with a very different ending to the Great War
